Hey guys,

Both End-Game proposals fail while Persia soars to within two centers short of forcing a close to the game all on their own. Greece miraculously survives once again and the time comes to wish you all a very merry Christmas. =)

However, our scheduling appears to be up in the air for after the next couple of days. Mikael is under the weather and Jon will be travelling after the 24th. Is the game something we'd want to pause for several weeks and pick up again at the end of January? Or can we all come to an agreement on an end-game resolution? I throw the door open to discussion among all of you.

Happy Holidays everyone. Hope Santa is good to all of you. I'll be on the horn again in a couple days.

Cheers,

Trout
